A Note From Andrea

If I could describe myself in one word, I would choose “REAL”.

People who know me a little better might say “blunt” or “candid” — but I prefer “real” 🙂

What you see is what you get with me. I don’t sugar-coat things, I say it like it is, I present the facts in the simplest way possible, and I don’t waste time “beating around the bush”. So yes, I might be blunt or candid at times, but I say what I think and I’m always true to my beliefs.

Sometimes this gets me in trouble… but for the most part, I consider it an asset. My friends and family always know they can count on me to give them a REAL, honest answer — even if it might sting a bit and even if it’s not what they want to hear.

I try to bring that “realness” to AndreaDekker.com as much as possible.

My house, my family, and my life are far from perfect, but that’s OK — I’ll share them with you anyway.

My hope is that AndreaDekker.com will be a resource to motivate, encourage, and inspire YOU to make positive changes in your home, your family, and your life. So grab a comfy chair and a cup of coffee… I’d love to have you stick around for a while!

More about Andrea:

I work full-time from home — writing, speaking, coaching, managing this blog, and working as a Virtual Assistant for other blogs. There are days when it gets pretty stressful and crazy around our house, but at the end of the day, it’s 100% worth it.

I’m a firm believer that “less is more”, and am constantly on the look-out for ways to simplify and organize every aspect of life — the way I manage my time and money, the recipes I make, how I clean and organize our home, and especially in my role as a work-from-home mom, wife, and business person.
